Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
marc_appleby This show is a high quality contribution to our historical understanding of late 19th Century Egypt and the tussle that ensued over historical artifacts in that period. As a cast member it was great fun to shoot and a great cast and crew to work with. Many of us are still in touch! We're hoping that Gary Tarpinian will do a follow up and perhaps focus a show on Budge and his wicked nemesis - Grebault. If it looks hot that's because it was. We had some problems with the heat but everybody got through fine. Working with the animals was also fun. The donkeys were so patient and understanding in the heat all day. As my first experience of a biggish set production in the US (I've done things in the UK) it was an eye opener to see how well things were done.
